Adding SEN (Special Educational Need) and EHCP for a student

The Educational Needs section of the Student Profile compiles all information regarding a student's special educational needs, gifts and talents, educational plans, events, funding and SEN statements and notes. 

You can see more information about editing and deleting SEN here: Edit or delete an SEN need or SEN Status

Permissions

You'll need the Student: Special Education Needs: Administer My/All Students permission (also called Student: SEN: Administer My/All Students) to manage SEN details for students e.g. add an IEP or SEN need. If you don't have the permission, you'll need to ask your admin team to give you permission using these instructions.

 

SEN Statuses

To record a student as a student with SEN, you need to give them an SEN Status. They will then appear as a student with SEN for reporting, and on the list of students with SEN.

Adding an SEN Status of N, E (EHCP) or K

To add a new SEN status, click the orange button.

SEN Needs

Logging a SEN Need does not record the student as SEN - you need to record a SEN Status to mark a student as SEN (shown above). SEN needs are to record the specific needs of the student.

Adding an SEN need

Click +Add in the Educational Needs section.

How SEN Needs map to DfE Export Codes

We often get asked why we have more options in SEN Needs than the DfE's Pupil SEN type list. This is so you have more granularity in recording a student's SEN information.

In the background of Arbor, we map our SEN Needs list to the DfE Export Codes. It is the DfE Export Code that is output in the census.

Here is a list of how SEN Needs in Arbor maps to the DfE Export code: SEN Need Types with DfE code mapping

Please note that this is a list for UK DfE schools. For Isle of Man schools or schools completing the ILR, please contact us if you require a list.

 

 

Other SEN details you can record

In the Educational Needs section, you can also add additional details for gifted or talented students, or record an educational plan.

Student Gifts and Talents

This section groups all recorded student talents. To add a new record, click on the +Add sign and select whether you will be recording a student gift or talent.
